The Apoptosis and Expression of Bcl-2, Bcl-xS, Bax Proteins in Fetal Brain after Treating Pregnant Mice with Endotoxin
Sung Min Cho, Seung Sook Kim, Young Seung Hwang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(1):97-104.   Published online January 15, 2000
Purpose : Apoptosis is active cell death which plays an important role in developing normal tissues. Various conditions such as genetic defects, drugs, ischemia or infections are known to induce apoptosis. We studied the effect of maternal infection on fetal brain development during pregnancy. Methods : We treated 46 C3H pregnant mice with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) or phosphat-buffered saline and observed the changes in apoptosis and...
Comparison Study between Immunohistochemical Staining and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay in Metalloproteinases and Tissue inhibitor of Metalloproteinases in Virus induced Myocarditis
Young Mi Hong, Seung Sook Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(11):1524-1534.   Published online November 15, 1999
Purpose : Most tissue disruption of extracellular matrix is mediated by extracellular proteinases. Matrix metalloproteinases(MMP) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases(TIMP) are associated with wound healing and repair. There has been no study done on MMP and TIMP in myocarditis. Methods : Coxsackie B virus(4,000 plaque forming unit) was injected into Balb/c mice by intraperitoneal injection. Histopathological finding was observed...
The Role of Apoptosis in Adriamycin Induced Cardiotoxicity and Preventive Effect of L-carnitine in Rat
Young Mi Hong, Seung Sook Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(6):760-768.   Published online June 15, 1998
Purpose : Adriamycin is very important in cancer chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the drug shows cumulative dose dependent cardiotoxicity. The precise mechanism of this remains unclear. It has been shown that adriamycin induces programmed cell death or apoptosis in many tissues. But the role of apoptosis in adriamycin induced cardiotoxicity is uncertain. Methods : Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups of ten animals each. All...
